Premium Members Gus Trivino Posted January 22, 2010 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hi Forum I tried to search but I couldnt find nothing about. Im filming during some days at the beach. Today I was shooting a girl going into the sea with her kite surf. The water arrived untill my knees and I had very carefull about the distance between the lower sled and water, but shit happens. A little wave covered the battery and the lower sled for a while. Fortunally not arrived the monitor and cables. I cleaned with bottles of water a lot of times the battery and sled, also cleaned with isoprophlic alcohol and try to dry the equipment with air. Any other advice? Best to all, Gus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Peter Hoare Posted January 23, 2010 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 I find when shooting on a beach, the sand is much more of a concern. I bag up the whole system, which would stop sea spray as well. Sea water is quite corrosive so wash it out quick. Maybe dunk it in fresh water to try and wash all the salty stuff out before you attempt to clean it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
